      She was a terrific vocalist, never had the opportunity to see them (too young) obviously a highly talented drummer, but never saw her competition live either

      I think we all recognized that she was a really good drummer but at the same time we all recognized it was kind of weird

    3. She was a protégé of Hal Blaine, drummer for the wrecking crew. It was Hal, who talked with her and suggested that she alter her vocals just slightly and right after it when the carpenters started having all the big hits.
